Domaine Xavier Durand
2012 Côte de Nuits Villages
This Pinot Noir features beautiful, concentrated fruit. An amazing value, we find it a great everyday wine. Ready to drink!
A youthful pink-red color. Light and pretty on the nose with cherries, herbs, and a touch of resin. Later, hints of toast and cinnamon develop. Good fruit, bright tannins, and a solid finish make the wine immediately appealing, but with the structure to suggest it will evolve with a little time in the cellar. An excellent example of the Côte de Nuits Villages appellation.
Food pairing: Duck; roasted chicken dishes; squab; rabbit or other light game; mushroom or lentil dishes
This bright, youthful Pinot Noir has great acidity on the finish and very nice cherry fruit. Light and refreshing, serve with light fare.
Food pairing: Chevre
